Modified Apr 04, 2018 05:15 GMT

Real Madrid

Keylor Navas - 8/10

The unsung hero of last night, Keylor Navas pulled off a couple of stunning saves to help keep a clean sheet. His save in the first half from a point-blank Higuain header was simply superb.

Daniel Carvajal - 7/10

The Spanish right-back was full of running and contributed massively both in attack and defence. He also sent in the cross for Ronaldo's spectacular second goal.

Raphael Varane - 7/10

Varane showed impressive pace and physicality throughout the night as he largely handled the threat by the Juventus attack effectively. He also played some lovely passes to start off attacks.

Sergio Ramos - 7/10

The Real Madrid captain will be missing the next leg because of a yellow card, but Ramos and Madrid will not be fretting too much about it. He once again put in an assured display on a big occasion and shackled the likes of Dybala and Alex Sandro effectively.

Marcelo - 8/10

The Brazilian was assured at the back and dangerous while going forward even prodding in the third goal to completely put the tie out of Juventus' reach. He combined with Ronaldo excellently on the left flank.

Casemiro - 7/10

The Brazilian snapped into tackles and did all the dirty work in midfield. He completely outclassed Bentancur and made some important interceptions. He did misplace some passes but was pretty good on the night.

Luka Modric - 7.5/10

The Croatian maestro was in cruise control throughout the night as he played some excellent balls and kept possession effortlessly. Modric, Kroos and Casemiro completely dominated the midfield battle.

Toni Kroos - 8/10

The German midfielder showed his class last night with a superb performance. He completely ran the show for Madrid playing some brilliant passes and taking up excellent positions.

He was unlucky to not get on to the scoresheet as his thunderous shot in the first half struck the bar.

Isco - 7.5/10

Picked to start ahead of Gareth Bale by Zinedine Zidane, Isco repaid his manager's faith by putting on a superb performance in the first half. Isco got the ball rolling by playing in a superb ball to Ronaldo in the 3rd minute.

Although he did not have the same impact in the second half, Zidane will be pleased with the Spaniard's performance.

Karim Benzema - 5.5/10

The Frenchman made some intelligent runs and combined well with the likes of Isco and Ronaldo. However, Benzema failed to do anything of note and was taken off by Zidane in the 59th minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo - 9.5/10

What more can we say about the great man! Cristiano Ronaldo last night showed why he will go down as one of the greatest players of all time by putting in an almost perfect performance to completely take the tie away from Juventus.

While his first goal was pretty good, his second was simply sensational. The bicycle goal he scored was so brilliant that even the Juventus fans could not resist giving the Portuguese star a standing ovation.

When opposition fans applaud you, you know you have done something special. Take a bow, Cristiano Ronaldo.

P.S. - He was given 9.5 and not 10 because he missed a sitter at the end of the game and proved to us all he is only human.

What a performance by Ronaldo!

Substitutes

Lucas Vasquez - 7/10

Came on in the 59th minute for Benzema. He looked busy and combined well with Cristiano Ronaldo. Got into some good attacking positions.

Marco Asensio - N/A

Came on in the 75th minute for Isco. Did not get enough time and opportunity to make an impact.

Mateo Kovacic - 6.5/10

Although he only came on in the 82nd minute for Luka Modric, Kovacic saw quite a bit of the ball in the closing stages of the game. He hit the bar with a well taken shot and was unlucky not to score. He also received a yellow card for a silly foul late on in the game,
